Method
Step 1: Prepare the Lemon Filling
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and ¼ teaspoon salt, whisking until blended. Gradually add 3 cups of water while whisking to achieve a smooth mixture. Place the pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Step 2: Thicken the Filling
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for another 5-7 minutes. Stir in ½ cup fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
Step 3: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4: Make the Topping Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar and mix it in.
Step 5: Incorporate the Cold Butter
- Cut in 6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 6: Add the Milk
- Gradually pour in ¾ cup of whole milk, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 7: Pour the Lemon Filling
- Take your prepared lemon filling and pour it evenly into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 8: Add the Cobbler Topping
- Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping evenly over the lemon filling. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the topping.
Step 9: Bake the Cobbler
- Place your dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
Step 10: Cool Before Serving
- Remove the Lemon Cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 15-20 minutes.

Notes
Use fresh lemons for the best flavor, don't overmix, and allow the cobbler to cool before serving for easier slicing.
